FREQUENT QUESTIONS

How much do nanny taxes cost you?
Nanny taxes cost less than you think. Generally, the employer's contribution costs about 10% of the employee's salary. For example, a nanny earning $500 per week would cost $50* per week in nanny taxes. The good news is that tax credits can offset this cost. See How can I save money by paying nanny taxes for more information.
